The Sun and the Moon




These things came to mind today after realizing the lengthening daylight hours, for which I have mixed feelings. For one, it's easier to stay out of the house for an extended period of time, but on the flip side, I really am more of a night person. The sun has never been kind to me in the past. It's the night that really makes the city shine.

Rhetoric aside, this is one of those themes that was destined for failure from square one. Requiring specific materials has a heavy impact on a Synchro Monster's playability, all the more so when the Tuner has mismatched levels for the job, and that's exactly the case here. Yes, we're meant to use "Oracle of the Sun" or even "Cyber Dragon," but that's exactly the problem; doing so is inefficient. Very inefficient. Cards don't come out of thin air, and losing one just for the sake of doing something quickly will often kill a deck's long-term endurance.

Beyond this, we have another problem: the dragons have impractical and illogical effects for their size. What can honestly challenge them in battle? Who would WANT to even if they could? Certainly you have better ways to address massive monsters?

Looping back into each other is nice, but I can think of a much simpler dude for the job that does all that and more...



Risk vs. Reward. Learn it.
